MSFT vs CRM
By Alex · Tickerpine
Microsoft Corporation vs Salesforce, Inc., side by side — the numbers that matter, in plain English. No “winner” hype; you decide.
| Metric | MSFT | CRM |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $372.97 | $158.37 |
| Market cap | $2.77T | $129.71B |
| P/E ratio | 22.2 | 18.4 |
| ROE | 34.01% | 16.91% |
| Profit margin | 39.34% | 18.73% |
| Revenue growth | 18.30% | 13.30% |
| Dividend yield | 0.98% | 1.11% |
| Beta | 1.10 | 1.15 |
Green = the more favorable figure for that metric (lower P/E, higher ROE, margin, growth and yield). Not a recommendation.
